The pop superstar has been dogged by rumours she’s gay and bisexual for years and she admits she no longer cares.

But, if she had to choose a female mate, she’d pick Fallin’ hitmaker Keys.

She says, "I would pick Alicia Keys, for sure. I think she’s wonderful." And, if she could pick out her next life, Jackson insists she’d come back as a man - and date a sex-changed Jermaine Dupri, her current partner.

She tells Eonline.com, "In my next life I’m going to come back as a guy and he’s going to be my bitch." Jackson is thrilled about her upcoming GLAAD Vanguard Award honor - because she’s convinced it comes at a time when gay acceptance is better than ever.

The pop superstar will be honoured for her work as a gay rights advocate at the Gay & Lesbian Alliance Against Defamation’s 19th Annual Media Awards in Hollywood on Saturday.
